Another institute for co]ored

Another institute for colored
teachers will be held at Culpepper,
on the fourth of July. It will
run eight weeks, The Institute
at Wytheville will be held in
July. The two latter will be held
under the Supervision of the
County Superintendent. The
summer Session of the Virgin

tute will be held for five weeks,
commencing July the 9Th. A
recent act of the general assem-
bly, changed the length of the
session, reducing it to five weeks.
This will be conducted by
Prof. John M. Langston who
will be assisted by the regular
faculty of the Institute, these
institutes are held through the
generosity of the trustees of the
Peabody Educational Fund. The
State makes no provision for the
payment of the expenses of the
Institute.

SCHOOL CHANGES.

We understand that it is con
templated to appoint Miss Jose
phine Turpin, of Howard Univer
sity to one of the positions in the
High or Normal School. We de
sire to say to our coloreG trus,
tees that such an appointment
over such ladies as Misses Emma
f. Merritt and Mary Nalle, who
should be promoted will be loudly
condemned by the people in this
community. The citizens are tired
of so much imported talent over
our competent and worthy young
ladies.
We make no personal reflection
on Miss Tarpin but we object 80
her being appointed in either the
High or Normal School when we
have so many worthy young ladies
among the corps of teachers. We
would suggest and We know that
it will meet the approval of large
number of tax payers and citizens
in this city, if the school board
will appoint Mr.. John I'll. Lawson,
at college graduate and latin
scholar to the position made va
can't by the marriage of Miss Daffin,
and Misses Merritt or Nalle to the
positions in the High and Nor
NAL School. There will be a vacan.
CIV in the Normal School and ln-
stead of importing teachers from
elsewhere let us consider the
claims of those who pay taxes to
support our government. We
know that DR.. Francis, Prot. Greg
ory and Mr.. johnson are disposed
to do what is right and for that
reason we have made these sug
gestions in the interest Of MERIT
and fair play.

Mrs. Thomas has opened a first

BAWDY HOUSES.

There are in this city several
bawdy houses, where young giIls
are carried by men, who are sup.
posed to know right from wrong.
These houses are situated i'm a vi
cinity where respectable families
reside, and are conducted in such
a manner that make them above
suspicion. Mothers who have
raised their daughters to live re-
spectacle, are not aware Of their
midnight visits to these houses.
Young ladies should be careful of
their associates and not be seen in
the company of suspicious males
and females. We regret that the
names Of so many respectable
young ladies nave been used ma
Iiciously, in connection with the re-

doubt be compelled to publish the

ALABAMA NOTES.
A SMALL BOY WINS THE PRIZE. THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. "IT WAS A
COON"

Tie Franklin Cade's, a mill
tary company of Is or 20 boys,
from ten to twelve years of age,
gave a picnic and exhibition drill
at Eureka Garden, last Tuesday,
June IL. There was also an in
dividual drill between members of
the Company, for a suit ofcloth S,
which Was won by Willie Dow,
one of the smallest boys in the
company. Franklin johnson, in
whose honor the company is
named, is the Captain and was in
command on this occasion. He
justly merits the credit given him
Of having a fine drilled company
OF boys.
The Mobile Patriarchs, No 81,
held their regular monthly pa
triarchial inspection drill, last
Friday evening, at the residence
of the drill master, Robert Thorn
as. At the conclusion of the
drill, the patriarchs and their
guests were a>ked to partake of
some punch, which had been pre-
pared for them through the kind
hospitality of Mr.. Thomas. At
this stage of the proceedings, toast
drinking and speech making were
in order, and were kept up until
late hour. The occasion was
highly enjoyed and will long be
remembered by all present.
The public schools in this city,
closed last week, and the closing
exercises of al! were quite interest
ing, especially SO, to parents, in
cases where promotions to higher
grades were gained. This of course,
was particularly gratifying. On the
whole, the training, discipline
and marked advancement over
last year, reflects much credit up
on both teachers and pupils, and
seems to give entire satisfaction
to parents.

"Mobile Register, of the 18th

Richmond, Va, June II, '87.
Among the many social orga-
nizations in this city, the Inde
pendent Social Club is by far the
most popular. The greatest social
event which ever occurred here,
was a basket picnic to Noun
Pleasant, on last Thursday morn
ing. Your correspondent being
one of the invited guests, took oc
casion to make a few notes con-
cerning the affair and the en-
joyment that was had.
At 7 o'clock Thursday morning
the Chesapeake and Ohio R. R.
depot, was alive with the elite
of Richmond. The boys were
going for days pleasure at Mt.
Pleasant Park, about 16 miles
above the city. Everything in
readiness the train moved off at
8 a. M, with about 100 happy
souls, and after about three qnar~
ters of an hours ride the conductor
called out Mt. Pleasant. The
young men took charge of the
well laden baskets, and up the
hill we went. Time will not per-
NIT me to describe all the beau
ties of that grand place. 1t is
enough to say that nature has
done much for it.
Soon after our arrival on the
grounds. dancing commenced,
and Oh! how we tripped the light
fantastic and made the welkin
ring with our merry shouts of Joy:
The whole day was one of unin-
terrupted joy and pleasure. The
dinner was the best ever served
and everything eonspired to make
the occasion one of pleasure, and
an everlasting reminder to the
boys of Richmond.

one of the fortunate ones, all
